For this adapter, according to Wireless Wiki [1], you should use universal driver "rtl8xxxu". See if it was loaded:

Thank Alexander!

actually my usb wifi adapter works well in buster but rfkill doesn't

i want to get rfkill to work

In that case check if "rfkill" kernel module is actually loaded, because it is necessary for rfkill utility to function:
    $ lsmod | grep -iE "rfkill"

Use "modprobe" utulity to load it:
    $ sudo modprobe rfkill

It is possible that driver module (your current version) for this adapter simply doesn't support "rfkill" subsystem.
